Big things are going on at Crossroads School. The sports program is flourishing this spring with an array of student-athletes shining in the spotlight for the Roadrunners. Swim phenom Zoe Darmon, a freshman at the school, has qualified for automatic CIF times in three individual races and has broken the school record in the 500 freestyle.
The boys’ swim team has qualified for CIF in the 4×100 free relay and the 200 medley with much help from freshman Luke Young, while the girls have qualified in the medley and are looking to qualify in the 200 freestyle relay as well.
On the diamond, the Roadrunners have proven to be just as good with pitcher
Jack Freedman leading the team to a 3-1 record for the season. So far this season, Freedman has 13 strikeouts through the 11 innings he’s pitched in. But Freedman isn’t the only player to stand out. The Roadrunners have a large squad with a good depth of talent at all positions.
